Sambil2 tnggu azan buka puasa ni, rajin la aku menaip. Aku kongsi la sikit pengalaman aku pasal tempat duduk ni. Semua kejadian memang ‘flight’ balik raya.
Cerita ni ‘based on myself true story’ tapi bukan berkenaan ‘window seat’ semata mata.
1. Years back, zaman dulu masa tu Air Asia tak berapa nak tegas kan perihal duduk di tempat duduk yg ada atas tiket masing-masing. Aku pula masa ni memang jenis tak ‘purchase seat’.
Ak masuk agak lambat sebab malas nak beratur ramai2 & hadap rempuhan gerombolan manusia. Sampai ja tmpt aku, ada org duduk. Dengan sopan aku minta dia beralih & bagi tau tu ‘seat’ aku.
Pakcik : ko duduk ja la mana2 kosong, semua org pun bukan duduk tempat dorang. Sy sudah duduk ni, susah mau alih2 barang lagi.
Aku : tak boleh, nti sy pula kena beralih ‘if owner seat’ nak ddk tmpt dia. Pakcik boleh duduk mana2 kecuali ‘seat’ sy.
Pakcik masih mengarut & paksa ak ddk tmpt lain. Aku panggil ‘cabin crew’ @ CC.
Aku : This is my ticket, and that is my seat. This fellow refuse to give me my seat & I wont seat elsewhere other than my own seat as stated clearly in my ticket.
Masa ni dah kecoh, byk ahli keluarga kaum keponakan dia berdiri acah2 pertahan pakcik tak sedar diri tu.
Ada sorang ja keluarga dia yg bersuara “bagi la dia seat dia pakcik”..and akhirnya pakcik tu mengalah & ddk tempat lain dengar nasihat CC dan sorang keluarga dia tu.
Sedang aku kemas2 brg masuk ‘compartment’ sambil2 duduk, pakcik tadi & kaum kerabat dia masih bising & mengarut mcm2. I place my headphone, apply voice cancellation, sleep for the entire flight.
2. Ni baru jadi tahun lepas. Penerbangan balik ke KLIA. More systematic as passengers need to queue based on their section to enter the flight. I purchased a seat somewhere in between back row & the middle section.
Sampai je dkt tempat aku, dah ada org duduk. Ibubapa & anak kecil. Coz I was so tired with Raya + night flight, this time round, I refused to handle myself & asked the CC immediately.
Bapa : Cik, sy dengan anak, seat kami terpisah, boleh ke kami duduk sama2. Senang sikit nak handle anak.
CC come to me.
CC : Will you switch place with this family & seat at ….. (a bit to the front).
Masa ni ak penat & ak mcm OK la, let it go & niat mudah kan urusan org.
Ak terpaksa la menentang arus dengan my ‘hand luggage’ and excuse myself to the front seat.
Dah menempuh malu tu, guess what? AGAIN the seat was occupied with another family travelling with kids & refuse to be separated.
I dont want to make any unnecessary scene, & call out another CC in-charge at that section.
AGAIN, this another CC asked me to switch place & she gave me another seat.
Masa ni aku mmg dah ‘annoyed almost to my limit’.
And thinking about Raya, I tried to cool down & again switch places.
Then I settled down & comfortably seated.
Cerita belum habis…sambil2 pasang ‘earphone’, dari tingkap aku nampak sorang perempuan, last passenger, about to come in…almost miss the flight.
Ak tak tau kenapa, ak doa byk2, jgn aku…jgn tempat duduk aku. If I happen to seat at her place, I swear Im gonna burst out & make a historical scene inside the flight!
Tadaaaaaa…dia masuk flight & “encik, tu tempat duduk saya”.
Masa ni ak rasa ak dah merah padam nak mencarut. But lucky that time, the CC react fast & rush to the lady.
“Maaf puan, sebab puan dah lambat, seat puan dah tak available. Puan duduk sini”.
CC tu bagi signal dkt aku ‘let me handle her’.
Arghhhh kepada yang travel with family & refuse to be separated, please plan ahead and purchase your own seat.
Jangan fikir selesa diri sendiri tapi susah kan org lain. Tak kan masa bulan Ramadhan & Raya mcm ni nak gaduh gaduh dalam ‘flight’.
Terima kasih sudi membaca, selamat berbuka & selamat balik kampung.
